low budget grinder

Here is my new low budget 1X42 grinder. I have been looking at Wayne Goddard’s $50 Knife Shop book, where he talks about home made grinders. I bought the motor at a garage sale and used castor wheels for the pulleys. I turned down a wheel on my wood lathe and installed bearings to make the contact wheel. I put it together and tried it out today, it is not bad for a grinder mostly made of scrap.
